Ronto, Dean 2011 Journal Bettel, 19.0 Km NE (by air) of Colón, Montañas Descuén, Alta Napaya, May 18 I arrived in Amatista City with Fed Paperfuss on May 15. We spent May 16 w/ Carlos Navaquez preparing supplies. On the morning of the 17th, after Josh Hannett joined us the previous evening, we were met by the Australiana participants: Jorge Emilio Lopez (mammalogist), Ricardo Gordillo, Julio Mendez, Raiza Borahona, and Maria Fernanda Antivia Rening. Call undergrads at USA). We drove to Bettel, the forest owned by Mennonites from San Pedro Carcha, NE of Colón, arriving around 19:30. Jorge and the mammal students set up a few mist nets from 21:00 - ~00:00 a few hundred meters NE of the buildings where we were staying; Carlos and I searched briefly along the path, and found 2 B. holmrichi and 1 Andis on vegetation. It was quite dry and hadn't rained for 8 days according to Don Carlos, Bettel's only inhabitant (along w/ his family). Carlos and I walked up the road and searched on roadsides and along paths in the forest from 22:15-23:00. We found 4 B. holmrichi and 6 Andis, all on vegetation except for one Andis that was on a rock wall. This morning, Fed put in a 40ft pitfall array while Carlos, Ricardo & I searched in the forest, starting where we had been last night following a logging trail 5 from the road. I quickly got a big B. holmrichi inside a log, the first live one seen on the ground, and then got another inside a tiny arboreal formicid on the forest edge. The forest here is beautiful, with gigantic trees, and seems like a low elevation cloud forest, with many tiny arboreal bromeliads and larger, spiny, terrestrial bromeliads. The land is karstic with tons of caves and sinkholes. There were several sites where they had cut large trees into boards, and
